I just picked up a used DoAll 1612-3 vertical band saw. The band tracks well without tires and the previous owner says it is a tireless machine due to it being metal specific.
The wheels have ridges on the running surface and a flange on the inboard side, There are stainless steel keepers on the outboard side. The band runs fairly centered in the table slot but noticeably to the left looking at the business end of the blade, I think a 0.125"thick tire may push it too close to the opposite side (I can't check as I have the transmission out at the moment.
Can anyone tell me if these machines were meant to run without tires?
Thanks.
